It is unlikely that you would have any reaction; however it is always advisable to consult your primary care physician.

Just fill out our request a brochure form to receive a Cardiac Wellness Supplements brochure via the mail that includes detailed information about all of the WELLCOR supplements. It also includes supportive testimonials and research studies for each nutrient. Since I've been taking WELLCOR supplements my cholesterol is the best it's ever been; my energy level is the best it's ever been; my focus is on point.

If you are allergic to shellfish, consult your doctor before deciding to take glucosamine. In most cases, however, allergies are caused by proteins in shellfish, not chitin, a carbohydrate from which glucosamine is extracted. Furthermore, there is no crossover between the acid derived chitin from shells and the antigens that cause shellfish allergies since the acid process required to leach the chitin from the shell strips away the carbohydrate side chains that would be antigenic.

Find out if having an allergy to one type of legume (such as peanuts, soy, beans, lentils and lupine) means that you should avoid eating other legumes.

Though it is impossible to measure prevention in your own health, it is well documented by research that certain substances may help maintain the condition of your heart and reduce the affects of age and environmental conditions.

Chitosan, obtained from the exoskeleton of shellfish, is an insoluble fibre. Before processing, the raw exoskeleton is composed of insoluble fibre, protein, and trace elements, such as iodine. During the manufacturing process, chitosan is refined to such an extent that the insoluble fibre is the only significant nutrient remaining. The protein and iodine are removed during the refinement process.

Shellfish are a known allergen and glucosamine is derived from shrimp shells. However, people who are allergic to shellfish are actually allergic to the protein troponin, which is found in the muscle (protein) of shrimp. Analyses do not find any protein in the glucosamine hydrochloride used in Mona Vie Active Juice. Glucosamine hydrochloride (GHCl), the form of glucosamine used in Mona Vie Active Juice, is more than 99 percent pure.

The allergen with shellfish is a protein and not iodine. The potassium iodide in our formulations is the same type of iodine that is added to Morton salt. Iodine is required for the body's synthesis of thyroid hormones, which control the body's metabolism. Sulfites are salts of sulfurous acid and are used as preservatives in certain foods such as wines and some "shelf products" to prevent spoilage.

If you're allergic to shellfish, you should not take CetylMax™ tablets, as they contain Glucosamine, an ingredient derived from shellfish. However, there is no Glucosamine found in the topical analgesic cream formula. See our CFA Clinical Studies link to the left. CFA has been carefully studied, and that clinical research has been published publicly in such places as The Journal of Rheumatology (August 2003) and the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (2005).

Allergies are normally a reaction to the proteins in shellfish. Full Motion glucosamine is derived from the shell and is so pharmaceutically pure that there should be no problem with allergic reactions.

For those with a sensitive/allergy to Chitosan we offer several patches that do NOT contain Chitosan:

Shellfish enhancement is a management tool used by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to increase opportunities for recreational harvest on certain public beaches by adding to the clam and oyster resource which occurs naturally. Our enhancement technique is to routinely "seed" suitable beaches with juvenile clam and oysters.

I haven't cut supplements out totally, although IMO a lot of people tend to over-supplement. This was something Billinghurst suggested too at a recent seminar here, and he mentioned that he only supplements his own dogs every now and again. I think if you are providing a good varied diet you will be providing pretty much what your dog needs - all in a highly bio-available form. My first preference when looking to a certain vitamin/mineral will always be to provide it in its natural form first.

Raw food contains the enzymes needed to digest it. However, most of us don’t live on a raw food diet. When we cook our food, the enzymes in the food are destroyed and our body has to make them in order to digest our food. This puts stress on our system especially since people eat more processed foods and meals higher in calories and fat. Digestive enzyme supplements help you digest your meals more efficiently and deliver the nutrients from your food to your body.

Synthovial 7 is easily tolerated with or without food. We recommend taking Synthovial 7? first thing in the morning (this is a good way of getting in the habit of taking it everyday). It is only necessary to take it once a day, although many people take it in the morning and again at bedtime and report excellent results. As with any nutritional supplement, it is important to be consistent and take it every day. The answer is yes.
